Jacob Elordi sidestepped questions about the James Bond auditions at the London premiere of The Dog Stars on Thursday night, August 20, 2026. The actor attended the Leicester Square event for Ridley Scott ’s new post apocalyptic sci fi film and gave reporters exactly zero casting confirmation. Elordi’s appearance still created plenty of spectacle, with fans screaming from the carpet and even shouting from a nearby window when he waved. The Euphoria and Saltburn actor also drew attention while posing with Rak Jasper, one of three dogs featured in the movie. Was Jacob Elordi Asked About James Bond? With Bond casting reportedly moving forward and Elordi remaining among the names linked to the coveted role, Variety asked whether he had participated in auditions. Elordi smiled and delivered a line that was technically an answer without revealing a single useful detail: “I’m here on holiday.” Elordi was joined at the Odeon Luxe premiere by Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley and Guy Pearce, as well as Scott, whom Elordi called “the king of movies.” The Dog Stars , adapted from Peter Heller’s 2012 novel, follows a former civilian pilot and a hardened ex Marine trying to survive after a devastating flu pandemic nearly wipes out humanity.
